Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 cup Green chiles (roasted and diced)
- 1 cup Salsa verde
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 large Onion (finely diced)
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the salsa verde, roasted green chiles, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the shredded chicken and heavy cream to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, letting the bisque thicken slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the bisque into serving bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an optional zesty finish.
